Defines a way to partition keys based on certain key fields (also see
KeyFieldBasedComparator.
The key specification supported is of the form -k pos1[,pos2], where,
pos is of the form f[.c][opts], where f is the number
of the key field to use, and c is the number of the first character from
the beginning of the field. Fields and character posns are numbered
starting with 1; a character position of zero in pos2 indicates the
field's last character. If '.c' is omitted from pos1, it defaults to 1
(the beginning of the field); if omitted from pos2, it defaults to 0
(the end of the field).
